	Mailbag: Cufflink Alternatives | Buy Voxo asks: "I read that wearing unbuttoned French cuffs can give you a rakish edge. It just seems sloppy to me. What do you think?" Answer: Your instincts serve you well; this is about as cool as leaving your fly open. If you think it's a little too dressy for you to wear cufflinks with your French cuffs (or "double-cuffs" as the British call them), it's perfectly acceptable to go with a simple silk or elastic knot instead.

"The day they implemented restocking fee is the day I stopped purchasing from Gilt. Oh...and I love the way they did not announce this policy change and went ahead and charged me. Really Gilt? Who charges a restocking fee on clothing? Ridiculous!"
